I rather enjoyed reading this book, set in Northern California:

I assume Trump counts as an important person. He does seem to still sign checks. That is obvious in what I quoted in the OP. Did you understand my question in the OP? Maybe I did not make it clear. I'm wondering how common it is for important people, including Presidents to sign "bundles of ch...

In this case, we have testimony from the following people, all saying that Trump personally approved expenses on this account: Jeffrey McConney, the former controller at the Trump Organization Deborah Tarasoff, the accounts payable supervisor at the Trump Organization Madeleine Westerhout, former Di...

Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce said they disagreed with Butker's comments but have known him for a long time and will judge him based on the relationship they have with him. Head coach Andy Reid said "we all respect each other’s opinions," and he added that Butker is ex...

Perhaps you should read what Josh actually said. The lgbtq was a fairly small comment. I think the atheist focus was his primary point. I haven't been able to find any place where Paul Graham identifies as an atheist either. I can't find evidence for any of these claims: ... people like Paul Graham...
